Alex, I don't have a specific name of a renter. There are guys renting motorbikes literally everywhere. From what I can see they are kept in good shape so just test drive to check first. Make sure the horn, brakes, and turn signals work. Last time I rented (in May) I got one for rp20,000/day and that included everything. I don't know if I had insurance but who cares? My guess is that if you pay extra for insurance and something happens you really won't have any insurance anyway.
As far as Milt's advice not to. He has a point that driving in Bali (any kind of driving) has risks but I found motorbikes a great way to get around and still felt more than safe enough.
